Sakuishi Harold's manga "Beck" was announced to get a live action movie adaptation. Tsutsumi Yukihiko (live action movie of "20th Century Boys") directs the movie. It will be premiered in the autumn of 2010.

The main character of the movie is Ryuusuke, not Koyuki (Tanaka Yukio), who was the main of manga.

Cast
Minami Ryusuke: Mizushima Hiro (official website)
Tanaka Yukio: Sato Takeru (official blog)
Chiba Tsunemi: Kiritani Kenta (profile)
Sakurai Yuji: Nakamura Aoi (official blog)
Taira Yoshiyuki: Mukai Osamu (official blog)

Looks cool. It'll be intresting to see how well it will pan out as live action.

This has better be good!

"Beck": Hell yeah!
"Beck" live action: I'm not too sure about. Maybe it could work out to be decent at least, since "Beck" is a realistic anime anyway.

They better not screw this up. But then again, I don't think they will.
I'm looking forward to this.

Hiro Mizushima and Takeru Satoh playing off of each other again? Why not. Plus, Hiro playing Minami is just awesome casting.

I just had a heart attack of JOY! Great casting choices (Though Takeru isn't a superb singer) and I am so excited! =D

It's so awesome to see my fave manga series get a movie treatment with an adorable cast. I mean, so many fangirl bells are going off in my head! I love Sato Takeru, both he and Mizushima Hiro were Kamen Riders, Beck is AWESOME and my fave manga...

I might just die when I see the movie.

This might be the first time that the seeing the words manga and live action in the same sentence doesn't make me want to cry. Like Xplicit said, due to the realistic nature of the anime/manga, I see no reason a live action wouldn't work.

I have never seen any of those actors before, so I can't comment on their acting or singing ability, but purely based on looks, they seem to fit the characters pretty well. That guy playing Chiba better get himself an afro though.

I'm definitely looking forward to it, so hopefully it turns out good.

Takeru is an okay singer, but maybe not anyone that would make the Dying Breed go "HOSHIT!"

Mizushima Hiro speaks fluent English and is a great actor, so I think they got the most spot on casting there.

The guy playing Chiba looks just like Chiba when he has a mustache. Though I too expect an afro or there will be hell to pay.

I love BECK a lot so I hope this turns out great!!

Only actor I don't know is Nakamura Aoi. But yay for Mukai Osamu as Taira <3 & wow Mizushima Hiro and Sato Takeru together again?


I remember his part in Ryuusei no Kizuna. I think he could do well. xD

MIZUSHIMA HIRO?
SATO TAKERU?

DID SOMEONE SAY WIN? YES. I FUCKING SAID WIN.

I'm a fanboy, shoot me. I love seeing those two work off one another though.

Who's Maho and Izumi going to be?

Huge huge huge fan of the BECK series, both manga and the anime.. definitely am delighted by the news but they sooo better not screw such an awesome work.

I love Beck and I love Hiro. Even if it sucks I'll sit through it.

Hiro as Ryusuke. Excuse me while I fangirl all over myself.

This could be great. Beck practically begs for a live-action adaption.

Satoh is a bit old, he is a good actor, but Koyuki was 14 I believe.

Hiro as Ray though, that works.

Otherwise, one of the few that could be really good live action.

i would love to see a Hollywood adaptation of this since Beck is really realistic

Sato kinda looks like a douche. This could suck horribly.

I guess that means it's about time I started the anime.
